This prompt creates a true cyanotype-style alternative-process print from an uploaded portrait. It limits the image to Prussian blue and paper white, preserves the subject through photographic tonal shapes, and adds botanical photogram shadows, uneven exposure and cotton-paper texture without turning the result into a generic blue filter.
What This Prompt Changes
- Reduces the portrait to deep Prussian blue and exposed paper white
- Preserves facial structure through photographic tonal shapes and edge detail
- Adds a botanical photogram border with believable sun-exposure variation
- Shows cotton-paper fibers, hand-coated edges and subtle chemical irregularity
How to Use It
Upload a clear portrait to ChatGPT or Gemini and ask for a cyanotype, not a monochrome blue color grade. Use a simple head-and-shoulders crop and choose whether botanical leaves should frame the subject or overlap only the outer border.
Customize the Result
- Choose a clean portrait-only sun print, a botanical frame or a full contact-print composition
- Control the exposure from pale powder blue to dense navy with preserved paper highlights
- Request rough hand-coated edges, a deckled paper border or a clean gallery print
AI Photo Editing Prompt
PromptUse the uploaded portrait as the exact identity and composition reference for the same adult. Transform it into a handmade cyanotype alternative-process print on textured cotton paper, not a normal portrait with a blue color filter. Restrict the palette to rich Prussian blue and exposed paper white, with a full range of blue density created by photographic tonal exposure. Preserve the person's recognizable facial structure, eye placement, expression, hairstyle silhouette, neck and shoulders through clear photographic shapes and delicate blue detail. Add a restrained botanical photogram around the outer edges: fern fronds, small leaves and fine stems appear as pale paper-white silhouettes against the blue, while the face remains unobstructed and dominant. Show real cotton-paper fibers, slight chemical blooms, uneven hand-coated edges, small exposure variations and a natural deckled border. Place the finished print on a weathered wooden table under soft daylight, photographed straight-on. It must feel like a physical sun print made in a darkroom, not a digital duotone, blueprint diagram or watercolor. No readable text, letters, logo, watermark or extra people. Vertical 4:5.
